Painting of "Tamalyon"

While serving in Haiti last November - I met a Deaf lady there who lives in the Village of Leveque in Haiti where the deaf poplulation lived.  I was so impressed with her and about her story of her life.  She is one of the many who is struggling each day not knowing how she is to survive each day but she place so much faith in God that she will overcome.  I was so inspired when the photographer who happen to be with me said I should paint a portrait of her from his photograph so I did.  This is my first portrait I have done in many years and was happy to see the results of it.  I will be painting more of Haiti related theme to promote my mission to serve again.
